Hospice Basics

At Legacy Healthcare, we understand that making the decision to seek hospice care for yourself or a loved one can be a difficult and emotional process. We are here to provide support, comfort, and compassion during this challenging time.

What is Hospice Care?

Hospice care is a specialized type of medical care that focuses on providing comfort and support to individuals who are facing a life-limiting illness. The aim of hospice care is to improve the quality of life for patients and their families by managing symptoms, addressing emotional and spiritual needs, and offering support during the end-of-life journey.

Who Qualifies for Hospice Care?

Patients who qualify for hospice care typically have a terminal illness with a life expectancy of six months or less, as certified by a physician. Hospice care is available to individuals of all ages and can be provided in a variety of settings, including the patient’s home, a nursing home, or an inpatient hospice facility.
